if the rockets win the rest of their games and the nuggets lose the rest of theirs (only lakers and blazers) then they will pass the nuggets. the spurs should fall on their own. it's VERY possible.
You're saying that it's the effort that would take Houston over the edge, not the adjustments? Couldnt the kings match the effort? The effort is much easier to match than adjustments. Adjustments comes from experience, effort doesnt have to be. I just think some Houston fans are one sided sometimes, like most fans, the same thing you're saying here is being said by a Kings fans in another board, they're saying if the kings effort was the same now as in the first half they'd be winning, its goes both ways.
Lakers all tied with Nugs at the half - Doesnt seem like the Lakers are all that motivated and Nuggets maybe want it more. If Denver gets up in that one we are only a chance at the 3rd seed.
I would be fine with the third... if we get out of the first I would feel confident beating the Nuggets on the road. I think Rockets match up real well with them.
this is the kings thought process on offense: If ball comes to you 1. shoot three 2. pass to team mate who is in position to shoot a three.
You know what's sad? The Kings are down by 17 with 5 minutes left and the stands are still full. If the game was at Toyota center, the lower bowl would be empty right now.
an excellent point. but you're forgetting that i also think the rockets talent and coaching (game plan and thought process for possible adjustments) are far greater than that of the kings. if both teams played as hard as they could, the rockets win.
